What Is A Composite Door?

Before we dive head long into our top five benefits of a composite door let’s get a straight forward definition of what a composite door actually is…

Composite doors are constructed with a combination of PVC and Timber forming a strong and sturdy frame. The core is made from high density foam that adds strength but also provides superb thermal efficiency. Excellent durability is achieved with a GRP or glass reinforced plastic coating. You should also expect a modern composite door to have multi point locking which leads us neatly into the first of our top five benefits.

With a Multi-point locking system, a quality composite door should have a Secured by Design endorsement which means it will have Pas 23/24, Q Mark and ISO accreditations. Just by having a composite door intruders will think twice before trying to break in and if they do try, they will have a very tough time getting past anti-snap, bump and drill cylinder designed to protect against the most common methods of attack.

Strong and Durable
